EnCLAP: Combining Neural Audio Codec and Audio-Text Joint Embedding for Automated Audio Captioning

We propose EnCLAP, a novel framework for automated audio captioning. EnCLAP employs two acoustic representation models, EnCodec and CLAP, along with a pretrained language model, BART. We also introduce a new training objective called masked codec modeling that improves acoustic awareness of the pret…
